ntrights -u "Domain Users" +r SeSystemTimePrivilege  -m \\computer  

Use Wpkg  WWW.wpkg.org to automate this (and many other things)

but why give this right to users?
you could synchronize clocks by other means

run the following on every client (via Wpkg or psexec or ...)

sc config w32time start= auto
net time /setsntp:your.favorite.ntp.server
net stop w32time & net start w32time
w32tm /resync /nowait
